Here comes the sun do do do do...

It's a BEAUTIFUL day. I would take a picture but I can't find the wire for my phone.
Goddamn wires. I hate them.

Well I'm going to sleepover in Aisling's house tonight. YAY. xD I have to pack some stuffs. Not much though. But I may be going out tomorrow so I'll need a change... Ah thinking out loud, what would I do without you?

Ah. C'est la vie.

Summer's not so bad I guess. I mean, it could always be worse.

Going to Burn hopefully on the 30th... we'll see how that turns out. :/

This is only a quick post seeing as I've got to do a lawt of stuff before I bail Aisling out of her date.
Awwwwwwwwwwww. Date.

Hehe, it's got me so happy and it's not even me who's on that date. I hope it goes well for her.

Well, until next time m'dears. This has been another pointless post, courtesy of yours truly. xx

Hello Old Friend

Right. So I’ve been thinking of writing a blog for a while. I realise I’ve long since abandoned you. After the failure of BEDIM I thought it fitting to hide away in shame for a while…

Well a lot has happened since then. I’m not going to bore you with details but basically,

• School has ended
• My boyfriend and I broke up
• Summer has begun in all it’s boring glory

Well maybe that’s a tad harsh… not TOO boring, I just haven’t done anything much.

I’ve been to the zoo, the natural history museum, the art gallery, Dublin numerous times, the cinema, Westlife concert, and basically just wandering around Bray. Not too bad.

The thing I have to fix though, is my sleeping. Oh my god this is fucking ridiculous. I stay up until anywhere between 5-8am and wake up around 2-3. It’s really draining and I’m losing so much of my day. Yet I KEEP doing it. I don’t know why.

In one way, it’s a punishment, in another it’s because it identifies me, in another it’s simply because I can.

No matter what the reason though, it has to stop. Easier said than done however, since I’ve no willpower or motivation to do so.

Darn.

I don’t know why, but I always seem to feel at home in the library. It’s like a home away from home even though I’ve neglected coming here in many months. Too many. I love the quiet, the people and the books. Oh god I love the books. There’s so many to read but never enough time. And also I need to be in the MOOD to read, once every few months I’ll go on a book-splurge and devour anything I can get my hands on as fast as humanly possible. Right now I’m going through a dry-spell but I’m hoping to re-kindle my love affair with books as soon as I can.

I miss it.

I didn’t really have much to say there, it was a pretty useless post to be honest, but I feel a little better having written it nonetheless.

Hopefully I can regularly post during the rest of summer. God knows I’ve nothing better to do with my time.

Ciao. xxx

The despair of necessary acceptance...

I've failed BEDIM. Only about 3 days... At least I know where I went wrong (sorta) and I'll TRY no... I WILL succeed in BEDA, just you wait and see... hmph.

ZOMGZOMGZOMG

Just in the nick of time, it's 10 to 12. Ahhhhh. I was so close to failing.

Okay, I STILL haven't found the camera cable. So I can't upload a picture. Ooops.
I think I might clean tomorrow though, so I'll probably find it then.

Well today was pretty awful, haven't had a day as bad as this in a while. *DEEP SIGH*
I'm so fed up.

x

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I forgot.

And by forgot, I don't mean literally forgot. I was thinking about what to write all day, I even took a picture earlier! Just, when it came to writing it, I completely forgot. I'm sorry.
Two days in and I fail. Story of my life.

ANYWAY. I can't post the picture just yet because I can't find the cable and 2:15am is too late to go looking for it. I've so much on my mind lately I've become super scatterbrained.

For now though, I hope this tides you over... you'll need your Kleenex for this one. =(


Sorry in advance! But I did tell you to get the Kleenex out!

I'll post the picture when I do tomorrow's blog. Or maybe even sooner! I need to find the cable first in either case...

Okay I really have to go now. It's 2:20am and I have school tomorrow. Fuck. School.


*zoooooom* Much love. xxxxxx

EDIT: Also, I can semi-save my pride by stating that it's STILL May 3rd somewhere in the world... but that doesn't really count does it? Bother.

Brownie or Sliders?

The ultimate decision. You decide.



Okay, well it wasn't all that dramatic, but today I was in Eddie Rockets and all I had was a crisp 5 euro note (being the broke teenager I am). So my choices were rather limited. I could either have gotten what sounded like a delicious brownie or a tasty sliders & chips (which turned out to be mini burgers).
You know that moment of heated indecision? Even when you weigh up the pros and cons of either one, you STILL can't make up your mind? That's what I was experiencing.
My trauma reached new heights when the waitress approached our table. Beads of sweat dripped from my brow as I scanned the menu, wishing something would pop up and tell me what the have. She looked me in the eye, with a questioning expression on her face. The moment was now. I had to choose. "Sli-BROWNIE. With ice cream!", I didn't mean to say it so fast (or loud) but I think I startled the poor girl. So she skipped off with our orders as we lay in wait, probably overjoyed to be out of my psychotic presence. As you can see, I'm pretty bad under pressure but it at least forced me to come to a decision.
My companion opted for the sliders and when the food came, I immediately regretted my decision. Oh well. At least now I won't make the same mistake again... maybe.

On my travels today, I didn't see anything worth photographing so I just took a random, meaningless one. Just so I wasn't missing it.

Boring. I know.

And I see that I have just made this in the nick of time. Until tomorrow loves! xx

This is a first!

Two posts in one day. I'm on a roll. (Sure I say this now...but just wait) BEDIM WILL work. I'm determined. >=[ <----- see the determined face?

I'm pissed. Majorlyyyyyyyyyy.
I don't know why, but I seem to be avoiding social situations lately... It's strange and unwarranted but there you go.
The stupid thing about it all, is that when I don't do things I complain and piss people off. So logically, I should just do things when I'm asked. But for some bizarre, socially retarded reason, I don't.
Oh well. It's unique. And even THAT'S lie. Funny how people use that word to excuse abnormalities. "Unique" doesn't sound negative I suppose. It sounds quite pretty actually. So therefore it just can't be a bad thing.
Yeah. Right.

On the bright side, I discovered this little gem:


So this brightened my day considerably. Until tomorrow chaps. xx

To celebrate my lack of blogging...

I'm initiating BEDIM.
For those of you unfamiliar with acronyms, that stands for Blog Everyday In May. Those of you who are blog-savvy however, will realise that if I were following the norm, I would have taken part in BEDA (Blog Everyday in April). Again, you may ask why did I insert the "I" in BEDIM? Because BEDM is hard to pronounce, fool.*

Moving swiftly on...

Since this is my first BEDIM post, I thought I'd start with a little something that I do best,

Complaining.

Yes friends, it may come as no surprise that I am about to moan about my day in my usual over-dramatic fashion. But then again, if you didn't want to hear this, you wouldn't be reading my blog.

So anyway, I'm at home, bored as usual when Michelle starts talking to me. We're both fed up with sitting on the computer all day (a vice we both share) so we decide to be aul ones and go out for a nice cup of tea. And as we all know, tea is the drink of Gods.**
Walking down the town was nice, it was cloudy, but bright and we chatted away about whatever thoughts floated into our heads. As we strolled along, we decided to get our fix in Munch since it was the closest coffee shop, so we go in and order 2 white teas with multiple sugar. I stole a few packets from one of those holders on the table because I knew 3 of those thin packets wouldn't be enough. I'm officially a thief. Aww yeah.
So then the woman (who seemed to know my name for some reason even though I've never seen her in my life) gave us our tea and we promptly paid and left the shop.
After recieving our steaming hot beverages (which I can vouch for since it spilled all over our hands) we made our way up the town to the statue outside McDonalds. In true aul one fashion, we sat down and bitched while drinking our tea. Or rather, attempted to drink it. I cannot put into words the disgusting-ness that is that tea. The taste just made my tongue shrivel and die and my stomach voiced its protest accordingly. Michelle and I looked from our cups to each other, and simultaneously set them down and resumed bitching. Tea fail.

The culprit.

I've also been inspired to take a picture everyday and post it. That's today's for you. Extremely watery, pissy tea. Lovely.

See you tomorrow.
*zoooooooooooooooooooooooom*

*Just kidding, I love you... and your stupidity. :)
**Or grannies, I forget which.

Táimid i rith an tSeachtain na Gaeilge agus...

Táim ag baint trial as blog a scríobh as Gaeilge. Tá sé an-deacair ar fad.


Gabh mo leithscéal mar tá mo Ghaeilge uafásach. Fuair mé B ins an Teastas Sóisearach... níl a fhios agam conas a rinne mé é. B'fheidir go bhfuil amadan is mé, ach tá me ag iarracht!...sorta.

Bhuel, is é inniú Dé Luain agus tá a fhios agaibh cad atá ag tarlú ansin...SCOIL. *sigh*
Is fuath liom dul ar scoil. Is fuath liom ag eirí sa maidin agus ag cuir mo héadaí scoile orm agus an maidin ar fad. Nuair a tagann mé ar scoil bionn sé beagán níos fearr mar bionn mo chairde ann agus is féidir muid caint nuair a bhfuil an muinteoir imithe nó nuair níl bhfuil sí abalta muid a cloiseann. Tá sé go maith.
Tá na ranganna ar Luain olc. Bionn Fraincis, Mata, Béarla, Riomhairí agus Gaeilge (le Bean Uí Clark) againn. Is é chúis eile go bhfuil mé ag gearán faoi Dé Luain an t-am ar fad.
Bhí scrúdú Gaeilge againn inniú, bhi sé faoin na carachtair atá in san dráma "An Trial". Rinne mé é ar an Máire ach ní dhearna mé go maith, creidim.
Bhí mo múinteoir mata as láthair inniú. Bhí sé ar fheabhas mar thóg sé an t-am dom chun foghlaim mo línte don rang dráma.

Ceart go lóir, níl mé abalta é a chríoch agus tá tuirse an domhaim orm...
Oíche mhaith!
xx

*yawn*

I meant to write this earlier, my thoughts are so disorganized right now. They were disorganized earlier too, but even more so now. Grrr.

So anyways I had an interesting day. Sort of.
Started off as usual with school but we got off at 11:40. I ended up staying at school until 12:20 though. I went up to help with Mini-Company (and by "help" I mean do my makeup while Laura helped make the stuff). So we went down the town, and I spent the only money in my possession (50c) on a video. Yup. An actual video. It was Tots TV to be fair, how could I leave that there?!
A trip to Bookstation and a bag of crisps later, we were on our way to Tesco. As per usual, I had to borrow money off Sinéad to buy something on offer (I'm such an impulse buyer!) but it was worth it. My eyes smell like grape juice now. =)
Laura and I strolled around Bray Head for no reason and I got my shoes all mucky! So fuck her. Bitch.
Teehee.
We did have a nice talk though. It was refreshing.

But anyways. I need to remember stuff for tomorrow. Hopefully writing them down will help:
-Bank card
-Survey
-Makeup
-PE gear
-Aisling's Phantom Of The Opera DVD.

I bet I'll forget at least ONE of those.

Today I saw some interesting things...LIST TIME PART DEUX.
1. A gorgeous sunset
2. Elmo In Grouchland VHS
3. A pillow resembling a dead sheep D:
4. A scorpion
5. LOVELY puppies. ^_^
And number 6.................. Tarantula sex.

Yup. Now I've seen it all.

I love how they're nearly all animal related. Hehe.

K, it's REALLY time for sleep now. I haven't slept properly in too long. Much too long...

Adios.

Songs listened to during the writing process:
I'm On A Boat - The Lonely Island
Threw It On The Ground - TLI
Natalie Portman Rap - TLI
All Of Me - Michael Bublé
Tik Tok Parody - The Midnight Beast

Sailors fighting in the dancehall. Oh man! Look at those cavemen go

It's the freakiest show.

I feel like I should be writing something since it's been a while. I'm not very good at keeping up with my own blog. My thoughts are too fleeting to commit to paper (or in this case bandwith) and so I never really feel inspired that often.
I'm going to try this time though. I swear. It's not even a chore, it's just lack of material. Once I get started I'm fine, it's just I tend to ramble on about nothing (which I'm sort of doing now, but hush) and it's not that interesting to read.

Well let's see... as usual, I've homework to be doing but fuck it. I'm much better off being happy by writing pointless blogs than destroying my inner self with mind-numbing essays full of things I don't even mean. *cough* Personal Development Essay *cough*


I saw a trailer for a film today, it caught my eye immediately since there was a GORGEOUS dog. And turns out the film is centered around it! It's called "Hachiko: A Dog's Story". I IMDb'd it, and apparently it's a very sad film. Well here's a recipe for disaster straight away...
You add:
-A dog loving fool (me)
-A sad film about a dog (Hachiko)
and you end up with said fool crawling out of the cinema in the depths of despair with an empty box of Kleenex. This is going to be DREADFUL. But I have to see it!
1. It looks like a good story.
2. It has a dog.
3. DOG.
There's not much more I can say really. Not that there NEEDS to be another reason, I mean we all know how amazing dogs are. Right? Right.
Thought so.

It's now almost 1am. I'm totally over-tired at the moment, but I'm content in the moment typing away accompanied by a nice cup of tea (curtesy of my nanny) and some nice music (Bowie & T. Rex).
If only I could write homework as effortlessly as I write this blog. It's taken me less than 5 minutes to get this far, and that includes tea breaks and MSN conversations going on simultaneously.
Oh, pointless musings, how I love thee.

I am currently of the opinion that Glam Rock should make a comeback. I think it's time we all went a bit crazy and embraced good music again in style. Just saying.
Think about how great it would be. Just for a moment, close your eyes and imagine being back in the early 70s and how amazing it would be if it happened all over again. Crazy makeup, awful clothes, brilliant music. Everyone expressing themselves and not giving a shit over anything.
Sheer bliss.

For me anyway.

Now it's about time I slept so au revoir mes amis. xxx

Still no water...

It's 7:15am. If it wasn't raining I would actually run to Isabelle's house right now, knock on the door and beg for a shower before school
OR
I could just stand outside naked, what do you think?

...

So this has me pretty pissed off AGAIN. I have to rush into school and do homework too. All because I'm a forgetful idiot. Oh well. Who knows? This day could turn out good. Maybe.
Just maybe...

x

Well it's been a while...

A long while.

I thought this was a good opportunity to blog since it's 11:11, I'm dead tired and almost everything is pissing me off. :D
So you can tell it's nothing but funfunfun for me right now.

Today was the first day back to school after the Christmas holidays. So I've been out of school for roughly three weeks. Getting back into the swing of things wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but I'm already sick of feeling tired all the time. I know I should probably sleep more and talk less but I can't help it. I fail @ sleeping. True story.
Anyway, as if going back to school couldn't be anymore horrible, our first class was maths. Instead of easing back into the exciting world that is Mathematics, we dove right into a sea of simultaneous equations and other mathematically sounding things that Zara doesn't understand. It was 40 minutes of hell. On the bright side, drama followed to relieve me. During my 40 minutes in the underworld, I was reminded of the spring exams which are taking place in about three weeks from now. I was also reminded of how woefully (but expectedly) unprepared for them I am. It's not like I actually want to do higher maths next year, but it would be nice to go out with a bang. And by bang I mean, not a fail. I can dream I suppose.

So besides school there are numerous things which have annoyed me today. A few of which I shall discuss briefly (how's that for fancy schmancy language from a sleep-deprived, angsty teen?). So here's an incomplete list of...

THINGS THAT HAVE PISSED ZARA OFF TODAY.
-Waking up at 6:50
-My sister
-Running to and from Centra at 8a.m.
-Being freezing cold in school all day
-Walking home in a fucking blizzard with ice stinging my eyes
-Not being able to draw a stiletto
-My sister
-People talking to me while I was trying to watch tv
-Someone calling my gran who spoke over Grey's Anatomy so I couldn't hear
-People talking to me while I was trying to write this
-Not having any water in my house to wash my hair or have a shower
-My sister.

As you can see, this isn't an all-encompassing list since I am easily agitated and many more things will have pissed me off that I just can't recall. Because I'm that lovely a person.
I really hope I get in the blogging mood more often because I actually feel less angry at everything now. It's a nice medium to vent to.
I think I'll wrap up now since it's taken me a half hour just to write this due to many distractions.
Love and chocolates. ;)

EDIT: I just noticed I said I'd "discuss briefly" my annoyances, but turns out I was just too lazy. xD
